This superb no heat natural earth mined untreated blue sapphire and sparkly white diamond tennis necklace is completely handmade in solid 18K white gold.
The stunning unheated blue Ceylon sapphires completely encircle the neck. Between each beautifully matched blue sapphire there are two sparkly white diamonds set in each dazzling link.
Here these sapphires are all fine gem quality and eye clean which is the highest clarity for sapphires according to GIA protocols. They are all each and every sapphire unheated and untreated! Unheated untreated sapphires are much more valuable than diffused, heated, clarity enhanced sapphires that are found in the majority of jewelry on the market. There is a set of 60 of these unbelievably beautiful unheated untreated sapphires in this necklace encircling the neck - a never ending circle.
It secures with a box clasp that clicks perfectly closed. Each side of this handmade clasp has a figure eight security catch.
On the reverse of the clasp there is a 750 mark for 18 Karat white gold. This has been confirmed by professional testing.
This heirloom quality one of a kind necklace measures 17 3/16" in length and is 3/16" wide the whole way around the neck (436mm, 4.5mm).

There are 120 set diamonds VS/SI in clarity and J/K in color each measuring 1.5mm each in diameter. These sparkly natural untreated earth mined diamonds have a total weight of 1.8 carats.
On average the beautiful no heat blue sapphires each measure 5.05mm by 4.15mm by 2.35mm and weigh 0.45 carats each. Because there are so many of these beautiful unheated and untreated sapphires there is necessarily a weight variation across the set this because it is so rare to get so many matching natural untreated earth mined unheated sapphires to make such a luxury necklace - these slight differences in dimensions of the exceptional set blue sapphires is related to the incredible rarity of the set of fine gem quality beautiful blue sapphires in this heirloom quality necklace.

The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
